During recent years, many arguments have been advanced about the importance of protected areas and their role in shaping a sustainable future. At the same time, there is evidence that increasingly urbanized populations visit protected areas less, and there is a continuous flow of decisions that affect protected areas negatively including through mineral exploitation, infrastructure development or poorly resourced management.
This forum will provide CEOs of the protected areas an opportunity to engage in putting together a response to this situation, working among colleagues for developing goals and strategies for guiding future initiatives, and spreading a powerful message to the world.
For this purpose, the forum will focus on 'Protected Areas + : Connecting People with Nature' and the programme is provisionally composed of four parts.
- Presentation of IUCN-WCPA's Global "Building Awareness" Campaign;
- Opening remarks by National Park CEOs;
- Facilitated dialogue among National Park, Business and Community Leaders;
- A concluding Global National Park CEOs Declaration
The forum will be invitation only.
The World Protected Areas Leadership Forum members who has been providing a platform for in-depth discussion on these issues will be key invitees. To build up the partnership of NP leaders with other sectors of society, distinguished journalists, business leaders, city authorities, and etc. are to be invited to take part in the meeting.

CEO Turnover and Relative Performance Evaluation
Dirk Jenter
Stanford Graduate School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
Fadi Kanaan
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Sloan School of Management
May 1, 2008
Stanford University Graduate School of Business Research Paper No. 1992
MIT Sloan Research Paper No. 4594-06
Rock Center for Corporate Governance Working Paper No. 24
This paper examines whether CEOs are fired after bad firm performance caused by factors beyond their control. Standard economic theory predicts that corporate boards filter out exogenous industry and market shocks from firm performance before deciding on CEO retention. Using a new hand-collected sample of 1,627 CEO turnovers from 1993 to 2001, we document that CEOs are significantly more likely to be dismissed from their jobs after bad industry or bad market performance. A decline in the industry component of firm performance from its 75th to its 25th percentile increases the probability of a forced CEO turnover by approximately 50 percent. This result is at odds with the prior empirical literature, which showed that corporate boards filter exogenous shocks from CEO dismissal decisions in samples from the 1970s and 1980s. Our findings suggest that the standard CEO turnover model is too simple to capture the empirical relation between performance and forced CEO turnovers, and we evaluate several extensions to the standard model.

"If you want the status quo in education, I am not your guy. If you want a champion for our families, teachers, and taxpayers; a man willing to fight for our kids, then let's roll up our sleeves and get to work because our children deserve better." - John Tedesco
Family Man Proven Leader Bold Vision Better Schools
Discover why Raleigh's News and Observer called John Tedesco a "transformative force," one who "has done his homework" and "a tireless voice for neighborhood schools and underprivileged children."
Tedesco 4 Kids is the campaign to elect John Tedesco as North Carolina's State Superintendent of Public Instruction. With one out of five children not graduating annually, two-thirds of students who do graduate in need of remediation, a third of NC children unable to read on grade level, schools struggling to keep teachers and lacking textbooks; our children can not endure continued failed leadership for another four years. Your children and grandchildren can't wait.
We are excited about the opportunity of a proven leader, like John Tedesco, standing as a champion who can improve education for our children, but this campaign is about much more than one individual. This campaign is for those who believe we can and must produce significant measurable results for our students, support parents, empower teachers, reduce bureaucracy, and increase local controls in education.
Over the past 12 years, the Easley/Atkinson and Perdue/Atkinson Administrations have allowed North Carolina's proud historic commitment to education to dwindle. North Carolina's schools have failed to keep pace as the digital age unfolds. We are considerably outpaced by international standards, and are lagging behind much of the nation. Under their watch we have lost thousands of teachers across NC while adding more bureaucrats and wasting millions that could have helped our classrooms.
Our opponent is an entrenched incumbent who has been at the Department of Public Instruction since 1976 and has been Superintendent for 8 years. As part of the status quo they have provided no answers short of lotteries and calls for further tax-increases; and our children can no longer wait. To fix the problems with the Raleigh education bureaucracy we need to make a change.
The future of our children and our state is too important for gambling and games. More than ever we need real leadership and our teachers need our support. North Carolina's economic vitality and societal constructs are being developed in today's school house. Our children deserve better; the future of our state is depending on it.
As you learn more about Mr. Tedesco, you will find a leader who tackled bureaucracy head-on to produce real measurable results in the state's largest school system and the 16th largest in the nation. With his critical leadership in place, Wake County's 169 schools, 151,000 students and 18,000 employees charted a course from good to great. John is the only candidate who has served as a local education leader, so he understands the burden of Raleigh's education bureaucracy on our teachers and classrooms. John is the only candidate who is also a parent, so he understands the frustrations our families feel hoping to ensure their children are provided the best.
John Tedesco starts with the premise that we can build schools that challenge our most gifted while raising our most vulnerable. It is not an either/or proposition, and we cannot settle for only teaching to the middle. In his efforts he always puts our students, families, and tax-payers first.
Across North Carolina citizens are talking about his courage.
John Tedesco is a man who is not only passionate and skilled, but tenacious in his pursuit to provide all children with the best education possible to allow them to chase their dreams. John Tedesco is recognized as a man true to his word, steadfast in his character and uniquely positioned to take on complex challenges, even in the face of extreme opposition from bureaucrats, political agendas, and status quo excuses. This has earned him the respect of supporters and critics alike.
Together we can solve the complex problems that have hindered our education system and provide all children with rigorous opportunities to reach their full potential.
This Campaign is for You!
This campaign is for those who find 1 out of 5 children in North Carolina not graduating annually unacceptable.
This is a campaign for those concerned by the fact that nearly two-thirds of our children who do actually graduate and go into our community college system need remediation for classes they were not prepared for in high school; robbing our students of opportunities and costing tax-payers twice.
This is a campaign for those who will no longer tolerate an education system where nearly 50% our minority children cannot read at grade level.
This is a campaign for those who understand that being ranked fourth in the nation in suspensions and standing riddled with a serious school-to-prison pipeline erodes our educated work force and our local communities.
This Campaign is for You!
Our children deserve better.

Hot fix crystals
Ideas are good, but u made the hot fix look to hard to use. If you wait for them to heat up properly you do not need to hold the tool on them and the don't stick to the tool, Simply apply them to your project with a light tap. I love the hot fix Swarovski crystals, a little bling goes a long ways

A VTIFF-affiliated monthly series of films and discussions about architecture and design
Directed by Carlos Carcas & Noberto Lopez Amado | Spain | 2010 | documentary | 78 minutes
The film traces the rise of one of the world's premier architects, Norman Foster and his unending quest to improve the quality of life through design. Portrayed are Foster's origins and how his dreams and influences inspired the design of emblematic projects such as the largest building in the world Beijing Airport, the Reichstag, the Hearst Building in New York and works such as the tallest bridge ever in Millau France. In the very near future, the majority of mankind will abandon the countryside and live entirely in cities. Foster offers some striking solutions to the problems that this historic event will create

They bond over their shared enthusiasm for American music and culture, and dive headfirst into a sweeping romance that plays out on and off stage —
but when an unexpected tragedy hits their new family, everything they know and love is tested. An intensely moving portrait of a relationship from
beginning to end, propelled by a soundtrack of foot-stomping bluegrass, The Broken Circle Breakdown is a romantic melodrama of the highest order.

Main Street Landing Presents
Cousin Jules
A film by Dominique Benicheti
(FREE for VTIFF Members, CLICK HERE to find out more about membership)
6:00pm reception, 7:00pm screening
Join us before the film for a reception featuring charcuterie with accompaniments by Guild Fine Meats
91 minutes / 2.35:1 Scope / Dolby / France / Not Rated In French with English Subtitles
A rare combination of sophisticated movie-making technique (shot in CinemaScope and recorded in stereo) and content that is a veritable ode to the beauty of rural France, the simplicity of daily peasant life, and the nearly wordless intimacy of a lifelong relationship. Recording over a 5-year period, director Benicheti palpably captures the rhythms and rituals of blacksmith Jules Guiteaux and his wife Félicie as Jules dons wooden clogs and leather apron to begin work in his shop, while Félicie tends a vegetable garden and prepares their meals. Awarded the jury prize at the Locarno Film Festival in 1973 and widely acclaimed around the world, the film nevertheless remained unreleased in the U.S. until now. – (Synopsis Courtesy of Film Forum)
A lost masterpiece of documentary cinema, Cousin Jules was the result of five years of painstaking work by director Dominique Benicheti and renowned cinematographer Pierre-William Glenn (cinematographer of Truffaut's Day for Night, Tavernier's Coup de torchon and others). They ambitiously photographed in Cinemascope and recorded in stereophonic sound the lives of Jules and his wife. The result is a ravishing, totally immersive work. The film received extraordinary reviews, won the Special Jury Prize at the Locarno International Film Festival in 1973, and was exhibited at many prominent festivals including Moscow International Film Festival, New Directors/New Films and the Los Angeles International Film Expo (Filmex).
Despite a strong festival response, the film did not find a distributor. This was in part due to the fact that most arthouse theaters of the day did not possess the equipment necessary to screen the film in its native Cinemascope format, and Benicheti refused exhibition of the film under any other format. He believed that the drama f the film was best understood on a monumental scale.
Over the years, the original negative and existing copies of Cousin Jules began to disintegrate. Benicheti was in the early stages of restoring the film himself when he died in 2011; a group of the film's most dedicated supporters banded together to raise the funds for the remainder of the restoration work. The exquisite 2k DCP was completed by Arane-Gulliver Labs and was premiered at the 2012 New York Film Festival and proceeded to screenings at the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival and other venues around the world.

Traveling along the Pacific North West coastline from LA to Vancouver, this relaxed journey takes us across three generations of Modernist architecture, all taking us back to the basics of true living – a sense of place, light, and a deep connection to the earth. Dion Neutra tells us that the way to live is to have 'the comfort of being inside, yet you have the feeling of being outside', and it is this established principle that contemporary Modernist architects are emulating and evolving today.

Alley rezoned for Sheetz construction
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- South Charleston Council plans to give away an unused portion of an alley in Spring Hill to further pave the way for a Sheetz gasoline station and convenience store.
Council members gave preliminary approval Thursday evening to vacate a portion of an alley between McDonald Street and Park Avenue, where Sheetz wants to build. It would be the first Sheetz in Kanawha County. The company has 452 stores in a six-state region.
The property transfer would be the second action by the city to pave the way for Sheetz. The first came earlier this month when council re-zoned the lot from R-8 (residential) to C-6 (commercial).
Although Sheetz wants to build on the lot, FOG Inc. asked for the re-zoning. FOG Inc. owned the lot at the time of the re-zoning, Mayor Frank Mullens said.
Hanan Ghannam incorporated FOG Inc. in 1992, according to Secretary of State Natalie Tennant's online business database. Hanan Ghannam is listed as vice president and secretary of the company and Mouwafak Ghannam is listed as president and treasurer.
The business database also lists Hanan Ghannam as having been an officer in Mouwafak A. Ghannam, M.D, Inc., which was voluntarily dissolved in 2003; as manager of Center of Town Carwash LLC; and as manager of the Coal Exchange Building, LLC - Huntington.
The proposed ordinance declares that the alley is not frequently used, is not needed for transportation, and is not used by the public generally for vehicular or pedestrian through traffic.
Furthermore, the proposed ordinance declares that the portion of the alley targeted for abandonment is of no value to the public or the city.
Therefore, the proposal says vacating the first approximately 219 feet adjacent and perpendicular to MacCorkle Avenue will limit the city's responsibility and relieve it of liability that could occur if it retained its interest.
The proposal goes on to say that vacating the portion of the alley will result in cost savings to the city, would not have a negative effect on services, and "would help enhance the development of future commerce in that area."
According to the proposal, the city "would consider any requests for quit claim deeds related to the abandonment of the portion of the alley," and would give Mayor Frank Mullens the authority to execute and deliver a quitclaim deed "to the owner or owners of lots abutting the abandoned portion of the alley from the lot line of the owner abutting the alley to the centerline of said alley."
A quitclaim deed can be used by a property owner to "quit" or terminate the right and claim to a property.
The lot is currently used for parking. It is on the Thomas Hospital side of MacCorkle Avenue, between a four-story office building and a two-story building occupied by Copley Wrecker Service. The alley provides a rear entrance for some homes but in the area near MacCorkle Avenue, it blends into the parking lot.
In other action, council agreed to purchase the property:
* At 316 Highland Ave. for $63,000. The lot is near several homes the city recently constructed.
* At 323 Fourth Ave. for $130,000 and at 321 Fourth Ave. for $120,000. The land may eventually be used for a new fire station.
Council also agreed to:
* Spend up to $221,000 for construction of a pro shop at Little Creek Country Club.
* Accept a $109,300 bid from North American Salt of Overland Park, Kan., for salt that will be used by the City Street Department. Finance Committee Chairman Jeff Means said North American Salt was the low bidder.
* Re-appoint Ralph King to the Sanitary Board.
In addition, council:
* Heard that the urban deer hunt in the city is underway. City Attorney Michael Moore said he bagged a doe. Moore said other people have participated in the hunt but he did not know how many deer have been harvested.
* Learned that about 200 people are expected to be in town this weekend for the West Virginia Chiefs of Police convention.
* Heard that the first South Charleston High School football game at Eagle Way was a success.
* Learned that construction of the new fire station at Weberwood is on schedule.
City Clerk Margie Spence thanked everyone who helped make the Mound Festival a success.
City Council's next meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 3 on the second floor of City Hall.

Ultrasound procedures use high-frequency sound waves to produce two-dimensional images of the inside of your body. Ultrasound is one of the most widely used diagnostic exams because it is a safe, non-invasive, and painless way to observe organs and structures in the body. The procedure shows real-time structure and movement that help your doctor make accurate diagnoses without ordering complex exams or surgeries.
Diagnostic ultrasound may be recommended to:
• Evaluate fetus for size, well-being or number• Evaluate gynecologic pain to determine cause • Evaluate gynecologic bleeding or identify mass• Examine veins• Evaluate for musculoskeletal injuries

Special Offer
These three statement-making looks will kick you out of your color comfort zone and into a more awesome age of edgy. Of course, amping up the drama means getting a little help at the salon, but you can also mimic the looks at home temporarily. Either way, it's time to get your gutsy on.
Whether you have one or a ton, standout streaks in a polar-opposite shade scream notice me now!
Try some color foreplay: Sample the drama without the commitment by adding a few removable hair extensions (we like HairDo 5-Piece Fine Line Set, $43). The pieces come in a bunch of shades (pick a contrasting color) and widths 2-inch versions offer the most in-your-face effect. (You can trim them to match the length of your real hair.) And you don't need a cosmetology degree to attach them. Simply snap open the comb like clip, position it at your roots (teasing your hair keeps the piece in place), then snap it shut. "Place it under a layer of hair to conceal the it," says Kari Hill, colorist at the Serge Normant for John Frieda Salon in Los Angeles. Of course, the more pieces you put in, the more dramatic your look will be. Two locations to consider: near the front of your face at your temples (they will show up even if you tuck your hair behind your ear) and at the nape of your neck (they will stand out when you pull all your hair in front of your shoulders or push it off to one side).
Now go all the way: DIY highlighting and dye kits made for tiny transitions, like going from dark to light brown lack the bleach strength or pigment concentration of pro formulas, so call your colorist to get these contrasting tones. "Short hair looks great with lots of fine highlights on top, while long lengths are better paired with thick bands of color near the ends," says Hill.

The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread
Ten Speed Press, 2001 - Cooking - 304 pages
Co-founder of the legendary Brother Juniper's Bakery, author of the landmark books Brother Juniper's Bread Book and Crust & Crumb, and distinguished instructor at the world's largest culinary academy, Peter Reinhart has been a leader in America's artisanal bread movement for over fifteen years. Never one to be content with yesterday's baking triumph, however, Peter continues to refine his recipes and techniques in his never-ending quest for extraordinary bread.
In The Bread Baker's Apprentice, Peter shares his latest bread breakthroughs, arising from his study in several of France's famed boulangeries and the always-enlightening time spent in the culinary academy kitchen with his students. Peer over Peter's shoulder as he learns from Paris's most esteemed bakers, like Lionel Poilāne and Phillippe Gosselin, whose pain ą l'ancienne has revolutionized the art of baguette making. Then stand alongside his students in the kitchen as Peter teaches the classic twelve stages of building bread, his clear instructions accompanied by over 100 step-by-step photographs.
You'll put newfound knowledge into practice with 50 new master formulas for such classic breads as rustic ciabatta, hearty pain de campagne, old-school New York bagels, and the book's Holy Grail-Peter's version of the famed pain ą l'ancienne. En route, Peter distills hard science, advanced techniques, and food history into a remarkably accessible and engaging resource that is as rich and multitextured as
the loaves you'll turn out. This is original food writing at its most captivating, teaching at its most inspired and inspiring-and the rewards are some of the best breads under the sun.

Tom Irwin
- BS Civil Engineering 1963
- MS Business Administration 1966
Tom Irwin: Wisdom, Wealth, and Work
Tom Irwin, soft-spoken and thoughtful, has "taken a leave of absence" from income-producing activities and redirected his energy to such pursuits as fly-fishing in the West, golf in the South, and travel around the world—when not tending to his volunteer duties on various boards and committees.
The outdoor pursuits are not surprising because Irwin, who was from Detroit, came to Michigan Tech in part because of its proximity to the Porcupine Mountains. "We hunted there," Irwin says. "That was a major tradition in our family." Outdoor enchantments aside, Irwin, who was co-owner of an asphalt paving company, gets wistful about his working days. "I miss the business. I still stop and watch construction."
Irwin earned a bachelor's in civil engineering in 1963 and a master's in business administration in 1966. He says a Tech education demanded "brains and brawn"—brains for tackling the course work; brawn for battling the winter. He was the first in his family to go to college. It was a sacrifice for his parents. "We were wealthy with love and affection, but not financially well-to-do at all."
In 1971, Irwin joined H&D Inc. in Petoskey, Michigan. The firm's work ranged from highways to golf courses, ski hills to airports. He credits his success to "preparation and opportunity." He imparts this ethic to his grandchildren: "If it is to be, it is up to me." He and his wife, Bette, have two children and three grandchildren.
As a supporter of Tech, he bases his efforts on "wisdom, wealth, and work."
Wisdom—"That's for other people to judge."
Wealth—"We give what we can, when we can."
Work—"With all the dedicated people at Tech, it makes you want to be involved."
A 1990-2000 member and former president of the Tech Fund Board, Irwin was an advisor for two academic programs and is currently a member of the Campaign Committee. He and Bette are members of the 1885 Society and the McNair Society. "I'm grateful for Tech and I'm proud of Tech."

Mail Call: From Kelly Leibham, sophomore accounting major
Published: Sunday, February 26, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 20:07
I am very frustrated about The Battalion's biases in the recent edition concerning the possibility of a woman becoming a yell leader ("Preserve all-male yell leader tradition," Feb. 22). There is only one section defending that the yell leader tradition should remain male and it is written by a male. There are plenty of women on campus that would be happy to express their opinions on not tampering with one of our precious traditions. To not display this in your articles showed a clear and slanted bias. Next time a controversial issue is discussed in your paper, please ensure that it includes a fair representation about what our student body truly thinks.

Cloud computing, to be discussed at the Assembly in workshop 6, will play a major role in tomorrow's economy, creating new jobs and growth. It has to be ensured that there will be sufficient supply of cloud computing facilities and services so that European companies of all sizes and government institutions can use these to develop innovative services.
The Commission is preparing a European Cloud Computing Strategy considering demand and supply side concerns: the legal framework, the technical and commercial fundamentals and the market. The strategy has been the subject of extensive consultations, both web-based and face-to-face, throughout 2011. This year, 2012, a Cloud Computing Strategy for Europe will be put on the table making Europe not only cloud-friendly but cloud active.
In this group, we will address some key questions that will be discussed at the Assembly and be included in the Mid-Term Review:
- Consumer risks on cloud adoption. How can good policy mitigate them?
- Liability and accountability of cloud service providers. How to improve it?
- What are the most relevant obstacles for Cloud adoption by SMEs?
Join the discussion, provide your comments, and feel free to launch new themes that you feel should be discussed at the Assembly.
The discussion so far is summarized here.

Average Interview
I applied online - interviewed at Bloomberg L.P. in October 2013.
Interview Details – Had one phone interview with someone from New York office. She was totally uninterested and extremely curt. Would ask a question like "Why Sales?" or "Why Bloomberg?" and then after I responded, would follow up with something like "But why do you want to do that?" or "Why is that?". She never said more than 10 words at a time, and could not have had a more indifferent attitude regarding the interview. It was like talking to a brick wall. Literally hearing echoes as she pried for me to repeat myself or explain what I had just said in different words. Brutal interview.

The 7th Annual Central Massachusetts Regional Brain Bee was held on Saturday, February 2, 2013, 1pm at UMass Medical School. Congratulations to this year's winner, Elliot Davis, Junior at Tantasqua Regional High School in Sturbridge, MA. Check out 2012's event, the 6th Annual Central Massachusetts Regional Brain Bee.
There are a number of opportunities that high school students could learn more about neuroscience and mental health. We have programs available for students who might be considering a career in neuroscience or mental health professions. There are many pathways for careers in research, teaching, or clinical service. The University of Massachusetts Medical School / Department of Psychiatry is pleased to sponsor these activities.
The range of opportunities for high school students include involvement in our Summer Internship program, Career Day, participation in the Annual Central Massachusetts Regional Brain Bee, and other ongoing community activities, including different Academic Interest Groups on many different topics. If you would like more information, please contact the Center for Comparative NeuroImaging by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. The Neuroscience and Mental Health Academic Interest Group for High School Students provides information to learn about the programs and are developing new programs based on student feedback and interests.
The Neuroscience and Mental Health Summer Internship is an opportunity for high school students to gain a short, but educational glimpse into different aspects of the medical field. Students will be exposed to varying aspects of mental health work. Individually assigned to a participating UMass faculty advisor, the hope is that each student will be able to learn about the profession they eventually want to pursue. On a daily basis, each student will shadow his or her faculty advisor and several times a week, students will come together for organized workshops and guest speaker luncheons. Faculty advisors from last year's program included surgeons, researchers, and clinicians.
This volunteer program runs five days a week for a two week period in the middle of the summer. The official hours of the program are 10am-4:30pm; however, the hours are subject to change depending on the schedule of the student's assigned faculty advisor.
Program Information and Application form can be downloaded here. Send completed applications to firstname.lastname@example.com at the Department's Center for Comparative NeuroImaging, University of Massachusetts Medical School (303 Belmont St, Worcester, MA 01604). For any questions, email firstname.lastname@example.com. Deadline for submission is April 10, 2013.
The Neuroscience and Mental Health Summer Internship 2013 was held between July 22nd and August 2nd. Run by the Department of Psychiatry, it offers an opportunity for high school students to gain an educational glimpse into different aspects of the medical field. Students, who are found eligible through an application process, are individually assigned to a participating UMASS faculty mentors based on their interests. Each student shadows his or her faculty advisor, and come together for organized workshops and guest speaker seminars.
This year's program was led by a postdoc from Center for Comparative NeuroImaging, Elif Sikoglu, Ph.D. and Neuropsychiatry resident, Beth Degrush, D.O. Elif and Beth were very pleased to host 7 students from different high schools and hope that this experience enriched their outlook on the future career plans. This year's program ended on August 2nd, 2013 with a luncheon during which the interns were given the opportunity to share their experience with their parents and faculty members. Dr. Doug Ziedonis topped off the afternoon with a certificate for each intern given in the presence of family and friends. (Pictured L to R: Beth Degrush, DO; Elif Sikoglu, PhD; Maxim Petrovsky-Shrewsbury HS; Fred Lu-Westborough HS; Elliot Davis-Tantasqua Regional Sr. HS; Aidan Cassidy-Bancroft School; Ciara O'Connor-Newton Country Day School; Kelly Scharlach-Mission College Prep, Arroyo Grande, CA; Achint Singh-Worcester Academy; Doug Ziedonis, MD, MPH)

The FDNY today launched the FDNY Official 2012 Calendar of Heroes. The calendar is available for purchase exclusively at www.FDNYFoundation.org and at the FDNY Fire Zone, 34 West 51st Street in Manhattan. This is the only official FDNY Calendar and the first by the Department since 2008.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the FDNY Official 2012 Calendar of Heroes will go directly to the non-profit arm of the FDNY, the FDNY Foundation. The FDNY Foundation's primary focus is educating the public about the dangers of fire and offering ways that everyone can make their home and family fire safe.
"We know this official FDNY calendar will raise funds and awareness about fire safety and will serve to remind everyone of ways to be fire safe year-round," said Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano. "The FDNY Foundation's important role in our fire safety education, and the great work of our members, has helped push civilian fire deaths to record lows in New York City."
This year's calendar features 12 current FDNY Firefighters, each bringing a seasonal fire safety message with their respective month, covering everything from space heater safety in the winter to fireworks safety in July.

PHILADELPHIA—A Delaware store manager is suing the Boy Scouts of America and the Mormon church over childhood sexual abuse committed by the scoutmaster at his church-run troop.
Melvin Novak's lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Philadelphia, charges that the newly released Boy Scout "perversion files" show the organization hid abuse claims for years.
Novak's abuser, Vance Hein, is in prison for a parole violation related to his 1999 conviction in Novak's case.
The 28-year-old Novak says the abuse made him "a quitter" when it came to school and jobs, and plunged him into years of substance abuse. The Newark, Del., man has also quit the Mormon church.
But Melvin Novak Sr. says he remains active at the Downingtown-area church where Vance led the Boy Scout troop.
The father says "evil people can fool us all."

Gather facts and information to address some of the essential questions embedded in the eGameRevolution exhibit: How is playing an electronic game similar to or different from previous types of play? Who plays electronic games? What is the educational impact of electronic games? Students will have the opportunity to learn and develop public speaking skills as they present their findings to their peers. Pre-visit resource materials include references to online collections and museum blogs. Video game tokens are provided for free play.
Lesson extensions for before or after your visit
The following activities are designed for your class to enjoy before or after your museum visit. Familiarizing students with the lesson concepts can enrich your museum experience.
Company role-play
While at the museum, students will role-play as members of different departments of a fictitious electronic game company. To familiarize students with this type of role-play, divide students into groups of six to eight. Give each group a different classroom object—for example a pen, a box of tissues, or a text book. Explain that they have each become a member of a special manufacturing company which creates the item they have been given. Allow each group 30 to 45 minutes to imagine what roles they would each need to play to manufacture and sell the object. Ask each group to create a company name and a product slogan. Have each group spend three to five minutes telling the class about what they manufacture and the jobs they each have in the company.
National Toy Hall of Fame electronic inductees
Two of the games currently inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame are electronic—Atari 2600 Game System and Nintendo Game Boy.
Based on the criteria below, ask students to discuss what other electronic games they think should be inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame.
- Icon-status: The toy is widely recognized, respected, and remembered
- Longevity: The toy is more than a passing fad and has enjoyed popularity over multiple generations
- Discovery: The toy fosters learning, creativity, or discovery through play
- Innovation: The toy profoundly changed play or toy design. A toy may be inducted on the basis of this criterion without necessarily having met all of the first three.
Blog it
Have students go to www.icheg.org—the website for the International Center for the History of Electronic Games (ICHEG) at The Strong—and select a blog that interests them. After reading the blog, encourage students to post a question or comment and begin a conversation with one of the museum curators.

Have you hugged your firefighters today?
Did you know that the firefighters who responded to the Baked in Telluride fire are all UNPAID volunteers? These 53 men and women, who fought the fire all night and the next day and the next day, are all thoroughly trained professionals. Almost all of them have Firefighter I or higher certification that would qualify them to get a job on any big city fire department. They all put in hundreds of hours of training and respond to hundreds of emergency calls each year. Hopefully they will never have to show up in your driveway or at your business, but if they do, you are in the best hands!
Imagine the cost to our taxpayers if we had to fund a department of paid firefighters. Our region is very fortunate to have these unpaid professional volunteers. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their devotion to maintaining our safety. Next time you see a firefighter, buy them a cup of coffee, or lunch, or a drink, and thank them for all that they do for us!
All the Best,
– Lee Zeller
